This thesis will explore Ernest Hemingway’s depiction of the crisis of masculinity in The Sun Also Rises (1927) with a focus on how the novel portrays the change in gender norms following World War I. For the main body of the thesis, I will use R.W. Connell’s theory of hegemonic masculinity and expand slightly in my discussion section with Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity. I wil
In this thesis, we evaluate the side-channel security of the NIST HQC post-quantum cryptosystem by analysing the official FPGA decapsulation implementation. A hardware wrapper was created to interact with the HQC decapsulation modules, enabling ciphertext decapsulation with precise power trace capturing using a ChipWhisperer CW305 and Husky setup. A dataset with 20k power traces was generated from
In the modern world religion is loudly wielded with anti-environmentalist and authoritarian consequences, following the footsteps of historical religious entanglement with industrial and capitalist values. In the context of intentionally co-creating an alternative future, this study argues that it is central to engage with religious environmentalism to highlight a different heritage and cosmologic
Övergången till en hållbar textilindustri, såsom textilåtervinning, kräver förbättrade metoder för hantering av färgämnen. För närvarande finns inga generella, industriellt implementerade processer som avlägsnar färgämnen utan att skada dem, och examensarbetet undersöker detta tillsammans med Rewin Textiles AB. Företaget återvinner polyester genom depolymerisering och därför utvärderas implementerThe transition towards sustainable textile approaches, such as textile recycling, requires im-proved methods for handling dyes. Currently, no real industrially implemented processes exist that remove dyes without damaging them and this thesis investigates this issue together with Rewin Textiles AB. This company recycles polyester through depolymerisation and therefore, the implementation of a pre-
We recently reported that a red meat (beef) diet relative to a casein-based diet increases protein kinase C (PKC) activity in rat colonic mucosa. The purpose of this study was to further elucidate the effects of a high-beef diet on colonic intracellular signal transduction by analyzing steady-state protein levels of different PKC isozymes as well as activities of the three types of sphingomyelinas
The present paper assesses the usage of relational ontologies in the realm of macromarketing made available by consumer culture theorists. Our paper advances this movement by exploring the potential of relational ontologies to propel a more thorough methodological discussion and operationalization of relationality in macromarketing. To fulfill this task, the paper first identifies and discusses fo
Objective: To quantify opioid use in knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients, and to estimate the proportion of opioids in the population attributable to OA patients. Design: Population-based cohort study. Methods: We included 751,579 residents in southern Sweden, aged ≥35 years in 2015. Doctor-diagnosed knee or hip OA between 1998 and 2015 was the exposure. Dispensed weak and strong opioids wer
The essay gives a brief account of Brecht’s years of exile in Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Central to this story were his close relations with a number of cultural figures in the Nordic countries. The essay also discusses the way Brecht’s writing was transformed during his Nordic exile. It focuses on the fact that he wrote some of his best-known plays and developed his famous theory of Verfremdung
Climate change increases the risks of heat stress, especially in urban areas where urban heat islands can develop. This literature review aims to describe how severe heat can occur and be identified in urban indoor environments, and what actions can be taken on the local scale. There is a connection between the outdoor and the indoor climate in buildings without air conditioning, but the pathways
We introduce a Multilevel Monte Carlo method for approximating the transitiondensity for discretely observed multivariate diffusion processes. These areused within a Pseudo-marginal Metropolis-Hastings (PMMH) algorithm to do Bayesianinference on the parameters.The Pedersen representation shows how the transition density can be representedas a conditional expectation, but the corresponding Monte Ca
Examining renovation processes having reduced energy consumption as an explicit goal, this article considers how energy efficiency is made part of renovation processes, focusing on the planning and design phase. Interviews and participant observations of meetings have been conducted. Applying a framework developed in practice theory, we demonstrate the importance of understanding routines, technol
Rural water supplies have traditionally been overshadowed by urban ones. That must now change, as the Sustainable Development Goals calls for water for all. The objective of the paper is to assess the current access to and the perceived water quality in villages with various types of water supply. The survey was carried out during July⁻December 2017 in four villages in central Kazakhstan. Overall,
Sverige har både beskrivits som modernt, liberaldemoratiskt och djupt humanitärt; och som mer eller mindre förmodernt, halvauktoritärt och benäget att kränka svaga gruppers rättigheter. I den här avhandlingen undersöks detta svenska dilemma i en rättsantropologisk tradition, med studier av konfliktlösningspraktiker som ett sätt att förstå förhållandet mellan lag och kultur.Detaljerade data från tjSwedish society has been described as both modern, liberal democratic and deeply humanitarian; and as more or less premodern, semi-authoritarian and potentially abusive of groups with weak political representation. In this dissertation, this Swedish dilemma is explored in an anthropology of law tradition, with disputing practices as an inroad to an understanding of law as culture.Detailed data on
4-Quinolones affect mammalian cellular functions in vitro in several ways. High concentrations inhibit DNA replication, but individual genes are perhaps sensitive to lower concentrations of drug. Inhibition of cell proliferation differs widely among 4-quinolones. Ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin are the most antiproliferative, inhibiting cell growth by -30% at 20 mg/L. Genotoxicity tests with 4-quino
We have studied strain wave generation in graphite induced by an intense ultrashort laser pulse. The study was performed in the intensity regime above the ablation threshold of graphite. The aim was to maximize the strain and, thus, also the internal pressure (stress). Laser pulses with a 1 ps temporal duration melt the surface of graphite resulting in a molten material which initially exists at t
Many cities have set ambitious goals regarding the production of renewables within cities using advanced energy planning. The crux of those ambitious plans and goals is to put them into action using different legislative instruments, like a zoning plan. In this article, the experiences of an action research project with the aim to support local urban planners developing a zoning plan that creates
Jet impingement cooling is commonly used in gas turbines. Usually the spent air from the upstream jets forms a cross-flow past the downstream jets, which degrades their heat transfer performance. In the present study, a new method was proposed to promote the jet penetration and enhance the impingement heat transfer. By placing a delta-winglet vortex generator pair (VGP) in the cross-flow upstream
